qHE FISHERIES QUESTION IN A NUTSHELL
OThe issue before the fisheries commits
sion can now be stated definitely. Cana
da offers TO throw open her fishing
grounds an6 to give also tho usual com
mercial privileges in her ports to our
fishermen, provided we admit, duty free,
her FISH, lumber and agricultural pro
ducts. Secretary Bayard declines the
offer upon the ground that we do not
care TO buy the Canadian iushore fishing
privileges, while the commercial priyileg-
es are due us in any event under the
general rule Of maritime reciprocity.
Commercial reciprocity is not properly
Mt issue before the commission The
b Canadians reply that 10y the treaty of
1918 the United States gave mp its port
privileges for fishing vessels, except Cor
shelter and repaiss; bot the answer 20
Bhis is that the treaty OF 1918 was made
at a time when no American vessels had
tho privilege of entering Canadian ports,
II Canada insists upon 81 strict ooustruc
ton of tine treaty America has the right
TO restore the exact conditions of ISIS
by closing it- ports against all Canadian
vessels, We see no escape from this
argument, sud certainly the New England
fishermen cen have no word of dissent
from the logic or the conclusions. The
only point that could properly be arbi.
trated would bo the commercial rights of
fishing vessels bearing trading license.
No question Of the tariff on fish or other
commodities should be settled by arbi-
trauou. Practically the weak point in
our position is the claim based upon the
testimony Of tie Senate Investigating
committee that American fishermen care
nothing for the inshose fishing grounds,
Il is q fact that our ifs, ug smack5 are
frequently caught inside tho three-mile
limit; but our state department must &C
cept the unanimous verdict of the New
England fisherman that heinshdre priv.
leges are not wanted The commission
has row adjourned until January, and

THE VERMONT WAR CLAIMS.
Report of the judiciary Committee of the
House.

Report of the judiciary Committee of the
House.
The judiciary committee of the House
says in its report on the war claims be
tween the government and the State of
Vermont:
The United states in 1864 and 1865 is
sued to the State of Vermont military
arms, equipments, commissary, quarter
masters and other stores to the amount
of 100000, at the prices charged in the
ordnance bureau. BY law Vermont is en-
titled to a credit of $4,000 on account of
the use of said stores, or portion of
them, in the suppression of the rebellion,
for her quota of arms distributed among
the States for certain years, for su5-
pended war debt on which the authorities
of the United States allow $4,000; and
she claims credit for certain expenses in
Cured in repelling invasions of her north
ern border during the war. This claim
has only recently been made, and will not
probably be insisted upon. The muskets
issued to Vermont Q5,O0) were charged
at &22 so each.
In 1870 l3, 300 of these muskets were sold
under the authority of the State at 81
each, and the money put In the treasury
of that State.
This price was doubtless the full value
Of the arms, but inasmuch as they were
charged at a much larger amount and the
officers of the treasury department have
no authority to settle the account on q
different basis; and rs Vermont will not,
and ought not to be asked to, settle on such
an negotiable basis, it is evident that Con
gress should provide some fair way of ad-
justing the accounts.
Vermont has by enactment authorized
her governor and auditor to meet parties
to be appointed by the United States and
adjustthe differences upon fair and equit-
able pr inciples, 10 receive any sum due
Vermont and to pay any amount found
due the United States. A due considera-
ton of our own interests and courtesy to

 Last Monday morning Under Sheriff Mcdonald arrested and placed in jail Frederick Jiron on suspicion of having murdered and Iobted Rafael Garcia of ConchO. 1tappears that last Monday week Jiron and Garcia left Holbrook to- gether-GarcIa on his way home and Jiron bound for St. Johns. The latter arrived here on the Wednesday follow ing his departure from Holbrook but up to last Sunday Garcia had not arrived at home, nor had anything been seen or heard of hIm. From what we can learn Garcia had been at work on the Mineral Belt road at Flagstaff and had some- where in the neighborhood of $100 on his person, and that Jiron was broke and borrowed small sum from Garcia before leaving Holbrook. On his arrival in St. Johns, however, Jiron appeared to be rather flush of money, and was spending it freely among his compadres at the bar. 4 party of Garcia's friends have gone in search of his body, and the authorities will hold the prisoner until their return.

WINSL0W PICKINGS.

WISsLow, Dec. 12, 1887.
 EDITOR HERALD-Our town has been enjoying peace and quietness for some time, but our happiness was marred on the Sth instant, by the killing of John Taylor. The particulars of the affair are about as follows: Taylor was shot from Pages saloon while on his horse, and in front of the building. It Itappears that some one in the saloon had offend ed him, and as he was ambitious to be regarded as "holy terror" after he had mounted his horse, he rode on to the porticO in front of the saloon, with his pistol in hand, swearing dire ven- geance against the individual who had had the audacity to insult his lordship. While he was still ranting. he rode up to window and was looking in, when some one on the inside shot him-the shot taking effect in the forehead. A Coroner's jury was duly summoned and found that the deceased came to his death from gunshot wound in the hands of some unknown party. Tay Tor was in the employ of the Aztec Land and Cattle Company, and had the repu- tation of being bad man."
 We had masquerade ball last night, which was a decided success. Every one enjoying themselves to their hearts content.
 Our officers are keeping close watch on some rustlers who have been lodging arounl in this section for some time. You may look for an addition of one or more boarders at the county's hotel.

We are giving our first page to the de- cision of Chief Justice Jas. H. Wright in the tax ease of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Company vs. J T. Lesueur. It is a case of great importance not only to Apache county, but to the entire Ter ritory, as it will forever put to rest the vexed question whether or not railroads in this Territory doing business under a charter from the United States govern ment are subject to taxation. This coun- ty was the only one in Arizona whose officials had the nerve and backbone to commence fight against this gigantic and grasping corporation, and they had weighed the matter fully before taking action and started in with fixed deter imitation to carry it to a successful issue, if it cost all the road owed or would owe the county.
